Many people think artists lead a charmed life, living continually in an atmosphere of romance and beauty. This, it* a mistake: when one knows the actual facts, one finds the path of an artist beset with many difficulties, and full of discouragements. It is true artists can weave imagin ary fancies and invest them with the gleam of poetry: were it not for this artistic temptrament that leads them into channels untrodden by others, and the divine love of art atm nature they posess, there would be little that was B..viable in the life of an artist. Mr. Drummond, the most, success ful artist of one or our Southern cities relates some of his experiences in the field of portraiture. Some of these incidents are pathet ic, some amusing; many of them attest the ignorance of the public in gener al concerning matters of art. The following are sparkling with humor and are to be recorded: * * A soeietv lady of no great personal beauty desired a portrait of herself, and chose theprofile view as being the tnos' attractive of her face. The por trait was painted, and as the artist knew his business flattered the lady, so that not only whs she very much pleased, but her husband and the whole family were equally delighted with it. The cash was cheerfully' giv en, and the picture sent home to adorn their palatial residence and be a thing of beauty, but, alas! a joy of short du ration. A few months elapsed, when one day the lady w'alked into the stu dio accompanied by her footman car rying this same portrait of herself. She told the artist, that she had de cided that the full view of the face would look better, someone having r emarked that it would be still prettier of her; and she wanted the artist to change the picture to a lull face. Could she have thought it was wor ked by machinery and that the artist could just twist the whole thing a round till it was in the j osition she desired? Evidently she did, for when she was informed of the impossibility, she still persisted that it could be done; and for all of this she expected to pay no extra charge. q.—*—o A y'oung lady had saved up fifteen dollar, and wishing to put the money to the best possible use, thought that a portrait of her mother would give her, more pleasure than anything else the fifteen dollars could purchase; She gave the order to Mr. Drummond, and thought the price was far less than Mr. Drummond always got, he thought that as it was for such a laud able object, (no doubt he was badly , iff nec'rl-of -tuolley) lie would make an exception amt paint tlie portrait for that price. The picture being completed, Mr. Drummond look it to the home of tlie young lady who was well pleased with the likeness. The picture was hung ,in tlie best light, and Mr. Drummond Iqft with the fifteen pieces of silver jingling lit his pocket. ‘ That .evenihg an te was received by the artist flora the young lady, say mg, that after mere matiir reflection she had deckled to buy something else with tlr* fifteen dollars, and asked Mr. Drummond to please send back for her mother’s portrait and return the money. It is needless to say Mr. Drummond did not aeceed to her wishes, though he could not resist the temptation of writing a sa eastic note declining to re-pur.;hase his own work. — o*o — widow having her deceased Itus .,ha id’s portrait painted, did not think it was a perfect drawing, though she admitted it looked like him. ' Her friends and relatives came to look at the picture and all pronounced it a perfect likeucss. Even then the widow was not satisfied still thinking the proportions imperfect; at last she said she would send an architect to measure the picture, and il he thought it correct she would abide by bis do' cision. The architect she sent happened to be known to the artist, and to help him out ol the difficulty reported fa vorably about the picture. The widow feeling convinced now; (as an architect must be an expert judge of portraits,) accepted the picture'; —o- —o— Mr. Mathew, a middle aged widower lived with his daughter Mrs. burton. lie gave an order to Mr. Drummond to paint the portrait of his dead wife, and when completed to take it to the home of his daughter, Mrs. Burton stating, that he was going o it of the city for some time, hut if his daughter was pleased with the mother’s port rait, he knew he would he pleased also, The day Mr. Drummond took the portrait to the horn' 1 of Mrs Burton he noticed she was greatly agitated and decided that seeing the life-like portrait of her mother was the cause. Mr. Drummond was just leaving the door when he met an acquaintance, who asked him if he had been to offer his congratulations to the groom, Mr. was surprited to hear the groom was the old widower, who had arrived from his wedding trip with wifey Ku two only a few hours before. That accounted for his daughter’s disturbed appeatance. Rather an odd coincidence—the Ist wife’s life size portrait and wife nitm two to arrive simultaneously. The artist afterward became ac quainted with Mrs. Mathew the 11, and she promised to sometime let him paint her portrait also. Then it happ ened that for a year and a half the artist lost all sight of his former pat rons. One day cards wereb rouglit up to him announcing Air. and Mrs - Math ew- He went into the studio expect ing that at last Mrs. Mathew had conn* to have her portrait painted. As Drummond entered his studio he saw a strange lady looking at his pictui es; but there was tlie same wid over who advanced to meet him, and introduced the lady as Mrs. Mathew number three. He then proceeded to explain that wife number two was dead, and he had called to have her picture enlarged from a piioto. : 010 : If tliis programme continues for a few years longer the artist will be in receipt of an assured income. Well, these few instances give an idea of the ludicrous as well as vex atious side of an artist’s life. Artists however soon acquire the tact neces sary to cope with all kinds of peopb*, awl become hardened to disappoint ments. These are soon forgotten when by some happy touch of tne brush they make sme picture wh eh elicits the appreciation and admiration of all the world, and wins for them fame and fortune. Atlanta.

CHANGE IN STAMP COLORS. .Made Necessary By Postal Con gress-Will Help Mail Clerks. from the lloston Transcript. Postage stumps of only three donnni inations are affected by the resolutions of the recent.lnternational postal con gress in regard to uniform colors. The 5-cent stamp or its equivalent, in every country belonging to the universal postal union, must . e printed, in dirk blue, the 2-cent in red and the 1-cenl in green. We sliiil!, therefore, keep the carmine 2-cent stamp used for dome tie letter postage, take the blue from Benjamin Franklin on the 1-coot and give it to President tirant on the 5-cent stamp and rob our 10-cent Daniel Webster, to color Franklin Green. All this will not have to be done, however, until ! January 1, 1899. Meanwhile, Great Britain has saved her equivalent of our 5-cent stamp: Germany her 5-cent and her 2-cent stamps, and France, 1 [tally and Norway their 1-eenf stamps, j by having them alrea ,3 ol the colors required. The changes have been long in com ing, having failed at the Lisbon and Vienna congresses, largely through the opposition of our government. An effort has been made through chemical experiments to lind for die three stamps most used in international cor respondence certain color:- \\ inch would be obliterated by the action cf the ink of the post mark or cunce'ling stamp. Large sums are lost yearly in | European states by the illicit ti.ue ot washing stamps and using tin a rone time. It is believed that the colors finally decided upon possess the valua ble quality of weakness under the application of cancelling ink. Tit; demand for uniformity in th-> denominations is due to the difficulty of deciphering the value of a stamp after cancellation. If the universal rule is “blue 0-cent, rad 2-cent, green 1-cent,” the postal clerk has only to bear in mind that the-stamps of all countries printed in these colors re spectively are of the same values n.- thestamps issued by Ins own govern ment, and will not need to strain hi eyes to read the legend on an unfamiliar and badly smeared foreign stamp. The question mow is whether clerks who handle foreign mails WiJl' not have to be tested for color blindness along with the vest of their e:emulations for appointment or promotion. Warning' to Tax Collectors nml Tax Payers. Comptroller General Wright wants every tax collector in the state to col lect Ins taxes promptly and turn them ill. lie will take no excuses for de lay. In an official letter which he has sent to all the collectors he says: “The legislature empowers and requires me to cause the taxes to be collected by the 20th of December next, and upon failure, of any lax col lector to do so, it is made my duty to issue li. fas. againct each uad every collector who has failed to settle his account, and to place said li. las. in tue hands of an officer tor collection. I shall therefore obey tlio law, and n is strictly enjoined upon volt to give the public the notice required b, section llii-l of the code, paragraph b at as early a day as practicable, in order that the people may have ample opportunity to pay their taxes, so that volt can settle your account with this office at the time required i>y law. “Tt x s are a necessity aud must be paid and it is much easier to col lect them before titan after December. The law requires the payment of taxes before any other debt (see code, !812), 1 therefore urge upn.i you the necessity of so arranging your dales I and f ppointmems tint ymi may he au.e to coliect the taxes during the months of .September, October and November. I now forewarn you that the law relating to defaulting collectors will he sUicDv and rigidly enforced, and the seuintics on, vour bon 1 notified if your settlements are promptly made.” •Judging from the way the above real's, it looks like the State author ities are going to have every u .e pay his taxes on time wbet.ln r or lmt v.otton be 5 or 15 cents per pound. While it is true taxes lia-e to be paid we mast sav that the authori ties ought to remember that bread and meat have to be had even more regularly and promptly than taxes. Such a law as one which requires the puyiueut • f taxes before any other debt should speedily be wiped off the books and in fact the country would be better off if such an unjust law was absolutely exterminated. Motwithstandmg, we all have to obey the laws aud of course will have to pay our taxes so that proper settle ments can be made with the head officer. Therefore ft will be well for every one to go at once, and pay bis taxes and be clone with that matter for this year. But it would be well if o.tr lawmakers would be more particular in many other branches of our State departments. To Hunt Foxes.

Lakewood Dark Near Atlanta. October sth, 1807. Of i; ]l seasons of the year Autumn is the most exhilarating, refreshing and Satisfactory; it is then the farmer is I>. ing rewarded for his yea:iy toil: ■a smile <>f gladness enlivens his face, as he watch* s his cribs being well filled with the golden harvest, his barns amply stored with forage, and his pen full of thrrfty pigs that greet him with a satisfactory grunt. Ail these and many more are substantial 1) 1 essings with nothing ficticious about them, and it does not require the close reasoning of a Philosopher, or the astuteness of a lawyer, to con vince the practical farmet that there is more soli 1 comfort hi tilling the soil than any other occupation man can follow. Our interest in forming has been greatly stimulated'dfTate not from an advance m taxes and a decline of cotton; but by receiving from Washington, D. C. three large beautifully bound and handsomely illustrated volumes, containing ini' and grupic reports of the agricultural and Interior departments of our gov ernment for the past four years: After feasting our eyes upon the nianv hgh,ly colored pictures of vari ous plains, fruits, bugs, n-pLics and flowers, we decided to take up the study of agriculture in a scientific way, so we retired with one of til** books to a somewhat secluded spot, where our thoughts could expand without interruption. We had not proceeded tur it: our investigations when we stumbled upon such words as Liptdapten.ee, Eaetuedoe, Ayper -1 tolas, Para olas and the like, some times whole sentences were made tip of such out landish words; then it was our reason tottered on its throne, and when we canto to realize the true condition ot affairs, we were prostra ted in bed with our tin ier jt v disio a ted, three front teeth out, head • 1.1:1 1 no an I c >al.l htrdly spca.t n bovcs a whisper. The language used in the composition of these books show a brilliancy of express: ,n over anything that ever occurred to old mm Webster, who was considered to hi? day and time a good speller, and an expert in hard words. We under stand the author of these works has been stricken with a hopeless ease of insomnia; and ,ve have decided t<> j c,thine ourselvvs in the future to old style methods of .farming. We ate too far ad vanned in life to go plod ding along Lwwn tire lurrow he.and old Beet, stuu.bhr.g over toots am! stumps with a ''chemical laboratory! attaf'lifd to our.plow stock, and one of these jaw-breaking words cross wars in our throat Should any pro ... - . , gressive fa rater desire it> ocv.ome ac quainted with the mysteries of these books, we will loan them with the j distinct understanding that they tire not to be r-. turned inside of ten yeas: ] if 'they arc not called for in a tew d-.vs, we will pack them up ami ship! 1 hem to the •• tte ugneqhu-a! college at Athens; an iiistmiun by the w:.v : that is of as little benefit to the state as these books wouel lte to. the average farmer.

It is to be hoped the people in the country will get their eyes open to these important facts, and send sucl; men to the legislature as will take a practical view of the question; and use th i- best endeavor to remedy the evil. Time and space will not admit of an enlargement upon these topics, but it must he obvious to all that there is a vast opening for re form along the lines menti -tied above. Fui.ton.
